  • Capital City Podcast #131 Answering Plies’ Question: Why DJs Play the Same “15 Songs” (and how to break new music) ft. DJ 360, Skaz Digga & Patrice
    Jan 5 2026

    Plies went viral asking a question every DJ has heard before: “Why y’all play the same 15 songs?” Capital J and DL Glass bring in a real panel to answer it the right way — DJ 360 (one of the Triangle’s busiest DJs), DJ Skaz Digga (Butter Team / on the road with Big Daddy Kane), and Patrice representing the real party people who know when a DJ is actually DJing.

    They break down the truth behind “safe records,” reset songs, reading the room, crowd trust, why streaming/TikTok changed the DJ’s power, and how to introduce new music without killing the floor. Along the way they start naming the actual “15 songs,” debate Cash Money vs No Limit, and talk about why residencies matter if you want a DJ’s style (not just a playlist). They close with “songs we want to break” right now — including CeeLo Green’s “Best of My Life” and a push to bring Miami Bass back to parties.
